Neil Diamond spent so much time being considered unhip that by the 2000s he went back to being the coolest man on the planet. While our bedazzled hero has had a fine career, complete with a Rick Rueben produced critical resurgence, these breakout '60s singles and album cuts are among the most liberating and joyous of his vast output. So, start clapping your hand and singing along to “Cherry, Cherry,” “I’m A Believer” and “Kentucky Woman.” Of course, you also get the intense, existential Neil Diamond with the brilliant “Solitary Man” and the devoted lover boy with “Red, Red Wine.” Just, please remember to lock up your daughters when Dangerous Neil starts crooning “Girl, You’ll Be A Woman Soon.”
